Question

Ashley Williams asks:

Wow! This could be a cool new feature, if of course enough people use it. I'll start with a math question that always stumps me. "In geometry how do you calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle? I know you can use the pythagorean theorem, but what is its formula?"
